I'M SPECIAL, SO SPECIAL
I GOTTA HAVE SOME OF YOUR ATTENTION

GIVE IT TO ME

There'll be no strings to bind your hands not if my love can't bind
your heart.
And there's no need to take a stand for it was I who chose to start.
I see no need to take me home,I'm old enough to face the dawn.

*Just call me angel of the morning ANGEL
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby.
Just call me angel of the morning ANGEL
Then slowly turn away from me.

Maybe the sun's light will be dimand it won't matter anyhow.
If morning's echo says we ve sinned,Well, it was what I wanted now.
And if we're the victims of the night,
I won't be blinded by light.

*Repeat
I won't beg you to stay with me

Through the tears of the day,Of the years, baby baby baby.

Just call me angel of the morning ANGEL
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby.

I play a good game,
but not as good as you
I can be a little cold, but you can be so cruel
I'm not made of brick, I'm not made of stone
But I had you fooled enough
to take me on
If love was a war, it's you who has won
While I was confessing it, you held your tongue
Now the damage is done...

*Well there's blood in these veins
And I cry when in pain
I'm only human on the inside
And if looks can deceive
Make it hard to believe
I'm only human on the inside
I thought you'd come through,
I thought you'd come clean
You were the best thing I should never have seen
But you go to extremes, you push me too far
Then you keep going 'til you break my heart
Yeah, you break my heart
See I bleed and I bruise, oh, but what's it to you
I'm only human on the inside
And if looks could deceive,
Make it hard to believe
I'm only human on the inside
I crash and I burn, maybe some day you'll learn
I'm only human on the inside
I stumble and fall, baby, under it all
I'm only human on the inside
And the damage is done...

*Repeat

I crash and I burn, maybe some day you'll learn
I stumble and fall, baby, I do it all
I'm only human on the inside

We
Watch each other even when we sleep
For some small protection
It's a promise we keep

Love
Is hard to define
It runs in circles round the mind
But a circle
Ain't a circle
If it's not complete

Oh
Love me from the heart down
If it hurts or if it's bliss
Love me from the heart down
Reveal me with a kiss
My senses must compete with a brain that lets me down
Down down

We
Satisfy each other but the hunger still remains
You sink into my flesh
Like a knife
When day comes to an end
We take off all our clothes
And stand naked
Face to face
With real life

Oh
Love me from the heart down
Get me on the floor
Love me from the heart down
Go under and then come back for more
Analytical patter
Gives love the run around
Around
You can't hold a theory
Won't you love me
Love me from the heart down

We
Misconstrue intentions
When there's distance in between
Longing hurts the teeth
Like something sweet
When
You're not here with me
You become a memory
Thic aching feels like some kind
Of defeat

Oh
Love me from the heart down
Get me on the phone
Love me from the heart down
Lie and say you're
Coming home
True confessions need the make-up
Of a clown
Smiles are deceiving
Won't you love me
Love me from the heart down

If this is public transportation
What are you doing here?
Royalty and people like thee
Should queue up in the rear

My patience has worn thin
My tires are going to explode
Yeah, yeah
Every time I try to get close to you
You throw nails in the road

This is a sticky situation
Will require a measure of tact
We just don't like to mix it with you all
It's a cultural fact

My patience has worn thin
My tires are going to explode
Yeah, yeah
Every time I try to get close to you
You throw nails in the road

This is a clean up job
Everybody grab a mop
You wanna further your position
Well look what floats on top
On top, yeah

Now, there's class and then there's class
But we're above all that
The butcher and the baker and the thief and the witch
And the aristocrat

My patience has worn thin
My tires are going to explode
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Every time I try to get close to you
You throw nails in the road
You throw nails in the road
You throw nails in the road
You throw nails in the road
You throw nails in the road
You throw nails in the road

You throw nails in the road
Yeah

When we meet again
Just refer to me as "back then"
Or pretend not to recall
Ever knowing me at all
Or hanging round my door
Begging for more

When you begin
Playing to win
That's when the losers rush in

I got better than you
At jumping the queue
To get closer to seeing who's who

A man without a home
Is never alone
Well, just look at what he's got
The whole parking lot
In those unsheltered places
There's always other faces

Take mine for a start
It's like a modern work of art
Disturbing and lacking in heart

I got better than you
At jumping the queue
To get closer to seeing who's who

Must be so wonderful
Being you every day
Oh, it must be so wonderful
Always getting your way

A common dialogue
Is the best thing that you'll get
From ther woman you call your wife
So try not to forget
To tear out and burn
The things you unlearn

Your future exists
In her shopping lists
Please call your office

I got better than you
At jumping the queue
To get closer to seeing who's who

I got better than you
I got better than you

There was a time you thought I was in love with you.
Well think again, you can't read my thoughts.
You're so pretty I'd like to break your smile in two.
You're so correct I'd like to disconnect the dots.

You're such a child, but you're not innocent
Another kid for rent.

*Why did you send me roses? Save them for someone's death.
The love you have to offer is only baby's breath.

There was a time I thought you were magnificent
But you've got nothing to have or to hold.
You're so pensive but your thoughts are insignificant.
Wrap 'em up, another 20 billion sold.

You think you're wild and know what danger means
In your designer jeans.

Why did you send me roses? Save them for someone's death.
The love you have to offer is only baby's breath.

I'd like to have you alone tonight and rearrange your mind.
I'd like to have you, but I know I'd be wasting my time.

*Repeat (x2)

You believed in me
When you had nothing to gain
You stood by me
You walked out in the falling rain
To find me
Waiting in the shadows behind me

Baby, please
Please, won't you do it one more time
Do it one more time
Do it one more time
Please, won't you do it one more time

You stayed when no one else would
When I was delayed, you understood
I've done some lowdown things, all right
But you said I was good
I couldn't forgive myself
But you could

Won't you please
Won't you please, won't you do it one more time
Do it one more time
Do it one more time
Please, won't you do it one more time

I know I've made you promises
And then I forget
I've let you down, and darling
I'm forever in your debt
In my darkest hour I've turned you out
When the mood has passed
You came back in spite of me
Saying this love, this love was meant to last

Oh baby, won't you please
Won't you do it one more time
Do it one more time with feeling
Won't you do it one more time
One more time with feeling
Please, won't you do it one more time
With feeling

Legalise me
Oh, I want the legal right to be me
Only me
Legalise me
Bail me, jail me
But they're never gonna nail me
Pharmaceutically

I was sleeping like a baby in bed
When I woke up to a voice in my head
There's no room here, try down the road is what I said
I'm just a farmer and I grow marijuana

Oh, baby doll
Could you tell that I liked that
Oh, baby doll
We're gonna rattle your combinations
Up and down

Legalise me
Oh, I gotta, gotta, gotta feel free
Really free
Legalise me
Wake me, shake me
If they're gonna come and take me
Make it legally, yeah

I've been campaigning for the rights of the meek
Well, I've been holed up in a tree most of the week
Hey, sir, your crush boxes are starting to leak
They're saying never
But we'll wait here forever
And ever and ever and ever and ever and ever

Oh, baby doll
Could you tell that I liked that
Oh, baby doll
We're gonna rattle your combinations
Up and down

And if I wanna shake my hair in the sun
Don't try to flail me for offending anyone
I don't take prozac and I'll never own a gun
I'm just a farmer
But, I swear I'd never harm her

Oh, baby doll
Yeah
We're gonna rattle your combinations, baby

When you came into my room last night
And took off all your clothes
Did you think I would resist
Letting you inside
Did you think I would resist you
My favourite samurai

You swam across the bedroom
Drunk on my champagne
You got into the air
Across the river Wye
And pushed aside your headstone
My favourite samurai

Then you showed me something
I didn't know
How to let go
I was falling
Through the Tivoli sky
Expecting to fly
Expecting to fly

When I stood beside your tomb last night
Recalling how you rose
Did you think I would persist
Refusing to die
See how I've persisted
Favourite samurai
Favourite samurai
My favourite samurai

Si me dijeran pide un deseo,
preferir? un rabo de nube
que se llevara lo feo
y nos dejara el querube,
un barredor de tristezas,
un aguacero en venganza,
que cuando escampe parezca nuestra esperanza;
un barredor de tristezas,
un aguacero en venganza,
que cuando escampe parezca nuestra esperanza
...nuestra esperanza.

Biker, they tell me
You're a dangerous lover
Well, that might be true
Oh, but I'd never ride with another

Maybe they've never had their arms around
Anything so wild and free
You bring the biker out in me

I can't understand it
Why people give you grief
You play the one-armed bandit
Like an outlaw with a belief

To them it's the norm for a man to conform
To a godless society
You bring the biker out in me
You bring the biker out in me

Because you've no interest
In the struggle to obtain
The status and bogus desires
That drive most people insane

You who have nothing have something that only
The one percent could ever see
You bring the biker out in me
You bring the biker out in me

LET ME INSIDE YOU
INTO YOUR ROOM
I'VE HEARD IT'S LINED
WITH THE THINGS YOU DON'T SHOW
LAY ME BESIDE YOU
DOWN ON THE FLOOR
I'VE BEEN YOUR LOVER
FROM THE WOMB TO THE TOMB
I DRESS AS YOUR DAUGHTER
WHEN THE MOON BECOMES ROUND
YOU BE MY MOTHER
WHEN EVERYTHING'S GONE


AND SHE WILL ALWAYS CARRY ON
SOMETHING IS LOST
BUT SOMETHING IS FOUND
THEY WILL KEEP ON SPEAKING HER NAME
SOMETHINGS CHANGE
SOME STAY THE SAME


KEEP BECKONING TO ME
FROM BEHIND THAT CLOSED DOOR
THE MAID AND THE MOTHER
AND THE CRONE THAT'S GROWN OLD


I HEAR YOUR VOICE
COMING OUT OF THAT HOLE
I LISTEN TO YOU
AND I WANT SOME MORE
I LISTEN TO YOU
AND I WANT SOME MORE


AND SHE WILL ALWAYS CARRY ON
SOMETHING IS LOST
BUT SOMETHING IS FOUND
THEY WILL KEEP ON SPEAKING HER NAME
SOME THINGS CHANGE
SOME STAY THE SAME

Don't get me wrong
if I'm looking kinda dazzled
I see neon lights
whenever you walk by
don't get me wrong
if you say hello and I take a ride
your sea of innocence
is playing havoc with my tide
don't get me wrong
if I'm acting sorta distracted
I'm thinking about the fireworks
that go off when you smile
don't get me wrong
if I act like I'm unaffected
I'm only off to wander
across a moolit night
once a while
two people meet
suddenly for no reason
they pas on the street
suddenly thunder and showers everywhere
who can explain the thunder and rain
but there's something in the air
don't get me wrong
if I come and go like fashion
i might be great tomorrow
but hopeless yesterday
don't get me wrong
if i fall in the mode of fashion
it might be unbelievable
but let's not say so long
it might just be fantastic
don't get me wrong

In the middle of the road,
Is trying to find me.
I'm standing in the middle of life with my pains behind me.But, I got a smile
For everyone I meet.
Long as you don't try dragging my bay,
Or dropping a bomb on the street.Come on baby,
Get in the road.
Come on now,
In the middle of the road, yeah.In the middle of the road,
You see the darnest things.
Like fat cats driving around in jeeps through the city,
Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits.
Past corrugated tin shacks holed up with kids and
Man I don't mean a Hampstead nursery.
But when you own a big chunk of the bloody third world,
The babies just come with the scenery.Come on baby,
Get in the road.
Come on now,
In the middle of the road, yeah.One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six.In the middle of the road,
Is my private cul de sac.
I can't get from the cab to the curb,
Without some little jerk on my back,
Don't harass me kid,
Can't you tell I'm going home, I'm tired as hell,
I'm not the cat I used to be,
I've got a kid, I'm thirty-three baby.
Get in the road.
Come on now,
In the middle of the road

I found a picture of you, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
You had hijacked my world at night
To a place in the past we've been passed out of, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
Now we're back in the fight

We're back on the train, yeah
O-oh, back on the chain gang

Circumstance beyond our control, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
The phone, TV and the news of the world
Got in the house like a pigeon from Hell, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies

And put us back on the train, yeah
O-oh, back on the chain gang

The powers that be
That force us to live like we do
Bring me to my knees
When I see what they've done to you

Well, I'll die as I stand here today
Knowing that deep in my heart
They'll fall to ruin one day
For making us part

I found a picture of you, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a break in the battle was your part, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
In the wretched life of a lonely heart

Now I'm back on the train, yeah
O-oh, back on the chain gang

Nobody's perfect
Not even a perfect stranger
But oh what a gal
She was such a perfect stranger
And you're the best in your field
In your office with your girls
And desk and leather chair
Thought that time was on your side
But now it's time the avenger

Nobody's permanent
Everything's on loan here
Even your wife and kids
Could be gone next year
And with what you have left
You'll be forever under pressure
To support her
And a lover who looks strangely
Like time the avenger

Time, time, hear the bells chime
Over the harbor and the city
Time, one more vodka and lime
To help paralyze that tiny little tick, tick, tick, tick

Nobody's perfect
Not even a perfect gent
When your property took the a train
I wonder where your manners went
You were standing at the station
In your briefcase
Was your aftershave and underwear
Can you hear the whistle blow?
Sounds like time the avenger

Time, time, hear the bells chime
Over the harbor and the city
Time to kill another bottle of wine
To help paralyze that tiny little tick, tick, tick, tick

Oh, saturday night
Mmm, everyone's having fun
I'm down at the laundromat
Trying to get my washing done
Like I done before
Time and time again
Watching the clothes go 'round
Another week sees it's end

Watching the clothes go 'round
Watching the clothes go 'round
Watching the clothes go 'round
Watching the clothes go 'round

Oh, I've been working hard
Mmm, trying to make some money
Would you like sour cream
On your potato, honey?
I been kissing ass
Trying to keep it clean
Serving the middle class
Yeah, it's a clean routine

Watching the clothes go 'round
Watching the clothes go 'round
Watching the clothes go 'round
Watching the clothes go 'round

There go the whites
Mmm, getting whiter
There go the colors
Getting brighter
There go the delicates
Through the final rinse
There goes my saturday night
I go without a fight

Watching the clothes go 'round
Watching the clothes go 'round
Watching the clothes go 'round
Watching the clothes go 'round

Show me the meaning of the word
Show me the meaning of the word
'Cause I've heard so much about it
They say, "Hey, you can't live without it"

Welcome to the human race
With its wars, disease and brutality
You with your innocence and grace
Restore some pride and dignity
To a world in decline

Welcome to a special place
In a heart of stone that's cold and gray
You with your angel face
Keep the despair at bay
Send it away, and

Show me the meaning of the word
Show me the meaning of the word
'Cause I've heard so much about it
I don't want to live without it
I don't want to live without it
Oh, I want love
I want love
I want love

Welcome here from outer space
The Milky Way is still in your eyes
You found yourself a hopeless case
One that's seeking perfection on earth
That's some kind of rebirth, so

Show me the meaning of the word
Show me the meaning of the word
'Cause I've heard so much about it
Don't make me live without it
Oh, love
I want love
I want
Love
I want love

Hush little baby, don't you cry
When we get to tucson you'll see why
We left the snowstorms and the thunder and rain
For the desert sun, we're gonna be born again
What's important in this world
A little boy, a little girl

Hush little darling, go to sleep
Look out the window and count the sheep
That dot the hillsides and the fields of wheat
Across america as we cross america
What's important here today
The broken line on the highway

All the love in the world for you, girl
Thumbelina in a great big scary world
All the love in the world for you, girl
Take my hand and we'll make it through this world

Hush little baby, my poor little thing
You've been shuffled about like a pawned wedding ring
It must seem strange, love was here then gone
And the oklahoma sunrise becomes the amarillo dawn
What's important in this life
Ask the man who's lost his wife

I WENT BACK TO OHIO
BUT MY CITY WAS GONE
THERE WAS NO TRAIN STATION
THERE WAS NO DOWNTOWN
SOUTH HOWARD HAD DISAPPEARED
ALL MY FAVORITE PLACES
MY CITY HAD BEEN PULLED DOWN
REDUCED TO PARKING SPACES
A, O, WAY TO GO OHIO
WELL I WENT BACK TO OHIO
BUT MY FAMILY WAS GONE
I STOOD ON THE BACK PORCH
THERE WAS NOBODY HOME
I WAS STUNNED AND AMAZED
MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES
SLOWLY SWIRLED PAST
LIKE THE WIND THROUGH THE TREES
A, O, OH WAY TO GO OHIO
I WENT BACK TO OHIO
BUT MY PRETTY COUNTRYSIDE
HAD BEEN PAVED DOWN THE MIDDLE
BY A GOVERNMENT THAT HAD NO PRIDE
THE FARMS OF OHIO
HAD BEEN REPLACED BY SHOPPING MALLS
AND MUZAK FILLED THE AIR
FROM SENECA TO CUYAHOGA FALLS
SAID, A, O, OH WAY TO GO OHIO

It's a thin line between love and hate
It's a thin line between love and hate

It's five o'clock in the morning
And you're just getting in
You knock on the front door
And a voice sweet and low says
Who is it?
She opens up the door and lets you in
Never once asks where have you been
She says are you hungry?
Did you eat yet?
Let me hang up your coat
Pass me your hat
All the time she's smiling
Never once raises her voice
It's five o'clock in the morning
You don't give it a second thought

It's a thin line between love and hate [2x]

The sweetest woman in the world
Could be the meanest woman in the world
If you make her that way
You keep hurting her
She'll keep being quiet
She might be holding something inside
That'll really, really hurt you one day

I see her in the hospital
Bandaged from foot to head
In a state of shock
Just that much from being dead
You couldn't believe the girl
Would do something like this, ha
You didn't think the girl had the nerve
But here you are
I guess action speaks louder than words

It's a thin line between love and hate [2x]

I been crying like a woman
Because I'm mad, mad, mad like a man
If you'd been in the s.s. in '43
You'd've been kicked out for cruelty

I hurt you
'cause you hurt me
So I hurt you
'cause you hurt me

I been wondering about your dependency
Your idea of defiance is a modern day mystery
Arms and chest are cold
When your back is on fire
And the only time you come clean
Is when you're talking to your buyer

I hurt you
'cause you hurt me
So I hurt you
'cause you hurt me

Forget our philosophies
That we admired when we were young
And our popular points of view
They can't mean much or nothing
Or something or anything
'cause we can't say I love you

I hurt you
'cause you hurt me
So I hurt you
'cause you hurt me

Happy birthday, darling and thank you for the schooling
Your correction mistress warned me and she wasn't fooling
Never trust a user with your television overnight
When the show he wants to video is dallas on a tuesday night
Don't try to paint your masterpiece under artificial light

HE'S GONE 2000 MILES
IT'S VERY FAR
THE SNOW IS FALLING DOWN
GETS COLDER DAY BY DAY
I MISS YOU


THE CHILDREN WILL SING
HE'LL BE BACK AT CHRISTMASTIME


IN THESE FROZEN AND SILENT NIGHTS
SOMETIMES IN A DREAM YOU APPEAR
OUTSIDE UNDER THE PURPLE SKY
DIAMONDS IN THE SNOW SPARKLE
OUR HEARTS WERE SINGING
IT FELT LIKE CHRISTMASTIME


2000 MILES
IS VERY FAR THROUGH THE SNOW
I'LL THINK OF YOU
WHEREVER YOU GO


HE'S GONE 2000 MILES
IT'S VERY FAR
THE SNOW IS FALLING DOWN
GETS COLDER DAY BY DAY
I MISS YOU


I CAN HEAR PEOPLE SINGING
IT MUST BE CHRISTMASTIME
I HEAR PEOPLE SINGING
IT MUST BE CHRISTMASTIME

I drank tequila 'cause I can't have your lips tonight
I don't want to feel ya I don't want to feel sad tonight
You make me suffer and you just don't know
Estoy barrochos down in new mexico

I want to remember but I try to forget
That scene in the car park that I still regret
Just like before, times I've even lost track
I ran away crawling 'cause I fall everytime I look back

Miles, baby, hundreds of highways and truck stops I've used
Cars, baby, hundreds of cars have passed and refused
I stood on the shoulder with tears in my eyes

I drank tequila and watched the game in the bar
I don' t care who loses, I don't know who the teams are
We had our time, but the bell's finally tolled
My ohio winter was finally too cold

I been crying like a woman
Because I'm mad, mad, mad like a man
If you'd been in the s.s. in '43
You'd've been kicked out for cruelty

I hurt you
'cause you hurt me
So I hurt you
'cause you hurt me

I been wondering about your dependency
Your idea of defiance is a modern day mystery
Arms and chest are cold
When your back is on fire
And the only time you come clean
Is when you're talking to your buyer

I hurt you
'cause you hurt me
So I hurt you
'cause you hurt me

Forget our philosophies
That we admired when we were young
And our popular points of view
They can't mean much or nothing
Or something or anything
'cause we can't say I love you

I hurt you
'cause you hurt me
So I hurt you
'cause you hurt me

Happy birthday, darling and thank you for the schooling
Your correction mistress warned me and she wasn't fooling
Never trust a user with your television overnight
When the show he wants to video is dallas on a tuesday night
Don't try to paint your masterpiece under artificial light

When i change my life
There'll be no more disgrace
The deeds of my past
Will be erased

And you'll forgive me
Then you will come back
Hold my hand and say "i still love you"
When i change my life

When i change my life
And all the scars have faded
I'll be someone you look up to
Not excused when your friends come around

And you'll want me always to be there
You'll be proud to say "i'm with her"
When i change my life

I want a place in the sun - i do
I want to be in love with someone
I want to forget every regret
And all those rotten things that i put you through

When i change my life
And the idiot me
Leaves this town forever
Leaves us to be
Together - for the rest of our lives
Happily forever and ever
When i change my life

I'm the adultress
But i didn't want to be and i'm convenient
And i make good tea
I stand accused
Of the worst crime in history
That's my mystery
I'm the adultress

I go to the park
With a bag of crumbs for the birds
That's where we meet without words
He takes my hand
And stares into the wood
There's nothing to understand
It's understood
I'm the adultress

Look at the fool
Made up to go out
She's desperate and lonely
But she's puttin' it about
Look at the spinster
Comin' down off the shelf
She's in love and she hates herself

Don't try to stop me
Don't get in my way
It's too late
I've made my play
Does misery love company
I'll be in the bar
You'll find me

You're not supposed to do that
You know you're not allowed to
But you seem to get some kind of kick
Out of doing what you're not allowed to
You deliberately defy the rules
'cause the law's upheld by fools
Shit on that
Bad boys get spanked

You can look but don't touch
But no you can't resist
Don't you ever think about the consequence
Guys like you never do
That's the kind of stuff boys are made out of
That's the kind of stuff girls are made out of
Bad boys get spanked
Bad boys get spanked

You don't listen do you asshole
Don't be a punk all your life
Someone's gonna sort you out
They'll try to make a man out of you
Say yes sir, say no sir
Say yes ma'am, say no m'am
Shit on that
Bad boys get spanked
Bad boys get spanked

Get spanked, get spanked
Come here, get spanked
Bad boys get spanked
Come here, get spanked

Now the reason we're here
As man and woman
Is to love each other
Take care of each other
When love walks in the room
Everybody stand up
Oh it's good, good, good
Like brigitte bardot

Now look at the people
In the streets, in the bars
We are all of us in the gutter
But some of us are looking at the stars
Look round the room
Life is unkind
We fall but we keep gettin' up
Over and over and over and over and over and over

Me and you, every night, every day
We'll be together always this way
Your eyes are blue like the heavens above
Talk to me darlin' with a message of love

Now the reason we're here
Every man, every woman
Is to help each other
Stand by each other
When love walks in the room
Everybody stand up
Oh it's good, good good
Say I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

Talk to me darlin'

When I look up from my pillow
I dream you are there with me
Though you are far away
I know you'll always be near to me

I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me

I look around me
And feel you are ever so close to me
Each tear that flows from my eye
Brings back memories of you to me

I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me

I was wrong, I will cry
I will love you till the day I die
You were all, you alone and no one else
You were meant for me

When morning comes again
I have the loneliness you left me
Each day drags by
Until finally my time descends on me

I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me

I wrote a letter to you my friend
So many letters that I never send
I think about you at the day's end
The time that we had
I laughed in my bed
The stupid things you said
We were two birds of paradise

When I was a little girl
With clay horses and lambs on the shelf
I caught frogs in ditches, listened for elves
My friends and I had a world unto ourselves
No grownups could find us when we
Made our plans so secretly
To run away and fly to be
With the two birds of paradise

Now once upon a time my mind still there wanders
Back in the room the things I remember
One time when we took off our clothes
But you were cryin', cryin'
You said nothing lasts forever
We were happy together
I thought about you in stockholm and rome
Me in my hotel room
You in your home
This is the life they say that
Dreams are made of
Don't forget
Please do forgive me
I still have something you did give me
Come into my dream with me and dream

Please don't forget
Do forgive me
I still have something you did give me
Come into my dream with me and dream
Oh dream of paradise

Such A Drag To Want Something Sometime
One Thing Leads To Another I Know
Was A Time Wanted You For Mine
Nobody Knew
You Arrived Like A Day
And Passed Like A Cloud
I Made A Wish, I Said It Out Loud
Out Loud In A Crowd
Everybody Heard
'twas The Talk Of The Town


It's Not My Place To Know What You Feel
I'd Like To Know But Why Should I?
Who Were You Then, Who Are You Now?
Common Labourer By Night, By Day Highbrow
Back In My Room I Wonder, Then I
Sit On The Bed, Look At The Sky
Up In The Sky
Clouds Rearrange
Like The Talk Of The Town


Maybe Tomorrow, Maybe Someday
Maybe Tomorrow, Maybe Someday
You've Changed Your Place In This World
You've Changed Your Place In This World


Oh But It's Hard To Live By The Rules
I Never Could And Still Never Do
The Rules And Such Never Bothered You
You Call The Shots And They Follow
I Watch You Still From A Distance Then Go
Back To My Room, You Never Know
I Want You, I Want You But Now
Who's The Talk Of The Town

You guys are the pits of the world!

Oh, this is no place for me
Burnin' down the interbelt, from jacuzzi to jacuzzi
It's all right for you man
Gettin' smashed, gettin' suntanned
But i know my place
Where's my suitcase?

Pack it up or throw it away
What i can't carry, bury
Oh you remember me, i remember you
But that was a long, long time ago
When i was passin' through

All my family, all my friends, my lover
I got to find them
My enemies, my new family, my new friends
My future enemies, i got to flush them out

Pack it all up, nothing goes in storage
I'm burnin' every bridge
Burn, baby, burn
I see your dog got shot
Well, hell, never mind
That's show biz, big boy
You've got to be cruel to be kind

Oh, give over and admit it
I've been tearing down the interstate
Like some kind of bleeding cat
It's all right for the boss
His gain's my loss
That gets me down, it really gets me down

So pack it up and cut the crap
When the clock starts talkin', i start walkin'
When you pass in your porsche
Please don't offer me a ride
I may be a skunk
But you're a piece of junk, and furthermore
I don't like your trousers
Your appalling taste in women
And what about your mind
Your insipid record collection
That dumb home video center
The usual pronography
And all you scumbags around the world
You're the pits of the world!

Take, take, take, takin' what you don't need
You'll get, get, gettin' what you don't need
Stand back, take a look and take heed
All the children in god's kingdom bleed
See the networks of concrete and steel
They've no mystery but what they reveal
Tells a story of a future that's void
Of the beauty and the majesty that life on
Earth is meant to be

Talk, talk, talk, talk about the government
And not a word about political favour
Everything touched is my political choice
The life you take is your political voice
The sacred cows come crashing to their knees
Golden harvest reaped without intelligence
There's no chance between the heavens and the seas
In a blood bath don't laugh
Grab your piece of golden calf

Waste not want not pick it up
Waste not want not pick it up
Waste not want not pick it up
Waste not want not

Do unto others as you wish be done to you
There's a million lies 'round everything true
You slaughter when you feast
You disrespect the beast
Make our beds and lie there, take your share

Waste not want not pick it up
Waste not want not pick it up
Waste not want not pick it up
Pick it up and eat it
Waste not want not

Way up in the sky
Over the city, over tokyo
Silver light, summer moon
You'll be over somebody's winter this afternoon
While the dolphins swim in the sea
You're going grey, my baby
Still the war is waging endlessly
Day after day, day after day

Way up in the sky
Over the city and lake erie
You remember the flats, you were there
Out every night mr moonlight

Round and round and round we go
Just like yesterday

Way up in the sky
Over the city where you sleep tonight
The light outside your window blinks
Hotel, hotel, hotel
Open the blind and dream in a moonbeam

When the war's finally over
We'll meet again
And pick up where we left off

Those jealous dogs, always on the alert
Tattle tale rights
They'll take your back and leave your shirt
Like that jealous bitch
Always wanting more
The courts have made her rich
And the click of high heels down the corridor
Jealous, jealous, jealous dogs

Those jealous dogs, detectives every one
Don't be a sucker all your life
She's gonna have you hung
Evidence, evidence, evidence
Suspicion invites treachery
Oh you really got taken
Bringing home the bacon
Jealous, jealous, jealous dogs

Bow wow wow, here come the dogs
Grrrrrr, here come the dogs
Don't lay down, here come the dogs
Stand straight don't slouch
Get down off the couch

You're gonna wet on the couch
Get down, get down

Those jealous dogs, they get worse and worse
Everytime you turn around
They're sniffin' at your purse
Who do they think we are?
What do they think we do?
It's hard to get in the mood
When you're treated like some kind of dog food
Jealous, jealous, jealous dogs

Bow wow wow, here come the dogs
Oh ruff ruff, here come the dogs
Get down, here come the dogs
Mind your leg, roll over and beg

Happy birthday
Merry christmas

Just before it rains
The wind whips 'round the balcony
And the sky closes on the english roses
And she'll be pacin'
'round and 'round and 'round and 'round her room
These storms always find here to remind her

To the endless sky
The pink over grey
She looks for an answer
But it's too late
Maybe it's true
Some things were just never meant to be
Maybe not

This is a story
Fruit cut from the vine
Forgot and left to rot
Long before its time
This is a story
About the girl who lived next door
Looking for someone to hold

A wish made on a star
Brought her here tonight
At a courtyard she waits
A thousand broken dates
But she holds the hymnal
Where so carefully pressed
Is the english rose she laid to rest

It's only a story
Flowers in full bloom
Bouquets in every room
Ooh, this is a story
Fruit cut from the vine
Looking for someone to hold

Shh...here they come
Now louie louie had his day
Nothin' gonna change it now
The rats and snakes will never fade away
Not while I'm alive
Hey! hey! hey! hey!
There come the cossacks
The road spiders
The super gliders
Burnin' trash, flickin' class, all the white trash
Yeah!
Hey! hey! hey! hey!

Now louie louie had his time
Seemed like only yesterday
Sandy and harry got married and moved away
'cause they had nothin' left to say
Yeah!
You with the glasses, I'll see you later
We'll find love I know
Rockin', reelin', double dealin', one more time this time with feelin'
Yeah!
Hey! hey! hey! hey!
Go boys, yeah!

You move so fine
Yeah what a scene I said
Mmm, kinda aquiline
Yeah baby saw through this now
You smell so good
Yeah, and your shirt's always pressed
You'll be the best inside my baby
Yeah, we're all under arrest now!

Louie louie made his mark
On this tender heart of mine
The jamaican moon don't let it get dark
Though we rock out in the night time

Yeah! let's get on outta here now, let's go!

I went out on the balcony in the middle of the night
The hotel was dark except for just one light
Television burning in the other room
I couldn't sleep so i put on some of your
Hollywood perfume

I went out on the balcony and looked across the way
Some guy was shadow boxing, he looked like sugar ray
I was feeling dizzy - began to swoon
Was it his punch or was it just your
Hollywood perfume?

I feel like a fugitive escaped from my life
Seeking refuge in the sensual heat
These paper-thin walls make me party to calls
Of love wafting through the room
The night jasmine bloom
Of your hollywood perfume

I went out on the balcony to clear my head
I was burning up in my queen-sized bed
Down on the strip beneath the billboard moon
Teenaged girls look for love in the
Neon sex and doom
Of your hollywood perfume

I went out on the balcony with your photograph
I dropped it in the pool and that made me laugh
You like your tan but you don't like to swim
Meanwhile i feel like i'm drowning in
Neon sex and doom
The night jasmine bloom
Of your hollywood perfume

I See Him Standing Silhouetted
In The Lamp-Light
I Cross The Street
And I Quicken My Pace
He Cups His Hands And He
Lights A Cigarette
I Find Myself In The Bones Of His Face

It's Just The Night In My Veins
Oh
Making Me Crawl In The Dust Again
It's Just The Night
Under My Skin
Slipping It In

He's Got His Hands In My Hair
And His Lips Everywhere
Oh Yeah
It Feels Good
It's Alright
Even If It's Just
The Night In My Veins

He's Got Me Up Against The Back Of A
Pick-Up Truck
Out Of Sight Of The Neon And Glare
We Might As Well Be On A Beach
Under The Moonlight
Love's Language Reads The Same
Anywhere Yeah

It's Just The Night In My Veins
Oh
Making Me Crawl In The Dust Again
It's Just The Night
Under My Skin
Slipping It In

He's Got His Chest On My Back
Across A New Cadillac
Oh Yeah
It Feels Good
It's Alright
Even If It's Just
The Night In My Veins
Even If It's Just The Night In My Veins

I've Got My Head On The
Kerb And I Can't Produce
A Word
Oh Year
It Feels Good
It's Alright
Even If It's Just
The Night In My Veins

It Feels Good
It's Alright
Even If It's Just
The Night In My Veins

Even If It's Just
The Night In My Veins
It Feels Good
It's Alright

I'll come in your car to talk business,
No business, no money talk.
Zero in on my full of intentions,
I think you got it because you pulled up and stopped.
If money is the root of all evil,
I'm begging at the feet of the devil.
Talk to me please,
Money talk to me.

Twenty gets you straight,
Forty gets you other,
Think of what a hundred could do.
I've been gifted with the thing that you want,
Who's better than who?
Never underestimate a woman like me,
The kids have got to eat,
And man, that's reality, you see.
Money talk to me.

You're so deluded,
You think that I'm real.
You pass your hormones off as love,
For five minutes you feel.
You can buy a squeegy little silicone sack,
But it won't feed the world
like the ones that I pack naturally.
Money talk to me.

Every Time I End Up Waking Up
In Some Hotel Without My
Set Of Keys
Coming To, Remembering The Way
Your Turned Me Out When I Was
On My Knees
You Think That Was
One Up For You
But I Know I Scored Something Too

When I See The Way You Have To Struggle
Just To Do A Little Simple Thing
I Feel Apologetic
Just Because I'm Not Particularly Suffering
So I Let You Take Me Down
I'm Like Your Rent-A-Clown

When I Saw My Baby Cry
I Knew That He Loved Me
That Was Some Great Victory
He Cried Because Of Me
He Hit Me With His Belt
But His Tears Were All I Felt
When I Saw My Baby Cry
I Knew He Loved Me

When You Try And Cut Me Down
And Push Me Back
If I Attack Your Attitude
I Rise Up To The Challenge 'cause
I Like To Taste The Sugar Of Your Violent Mood
Just Like A Stormy Sea
You're Natural
Poetry To Me

When I Saw My Baby Cry
I Knew That He Loved Me
That Was Some Great Victory
He Cried Because Of Me
He Hit Me With His Belt
But His Tears Were All I Felt
When I Saw My Baby Cry
I Knew He Loved Me
I Knew He Loved Me

Cats like me and you
Have got laws
That they adhere to
Laws outside the laws
As laid down
By those we don't subscribe to
The world is getting stranger
But we'll never lose heart
We can't just wait for the
Old guard to die
Before we can
Make a new start

Bring on the revolution
(keep the pressure on)
I wanna die for something
Bring on the revolution
I wanna die for something
Bring on the revolution
I wanna die for something
Bring on the revolution
I don't wanna die for nothing

For every freedom fighter
I wanna hold on tighter
To the hope and will you gave
You were the brave
You were the brave
And one day
When i hear your children sing
Freedom will ring
Freedom!

When we watch the children play
Remember
How the privileged classes grew
And from this day
We set out
To undo what won't undo
Looking for the grand
In the minute
Every breath justifies
Every step that we take
To remove what the powers that be
Can't prove
And the children will
Understand why

Bring on the revolution
(keep the pressure on)
I wanna die for something
Bring on the revolution
I wanna die for something
Bring on the revolution
I don't wanna die for nothing
Bring on the revolution
I wanna die for something

STILL RELIVE YOU
IF THIS IS WHAT YOU LEFT FOR ME
I FORGIVE YOU
NEVER DO I DESPAIR
WHEN I KNEEL TO SAY MY PRAYERS
WHEN SLUMBER FILLS MY HEAD
I'LL BE VISITING YOUR BED

ALL MY DREAMS
RECOLLECT YOU
AND SO DARLING IN A WAY
OUR LOVE REMAINS NEW
FUNNY LITTLE THINGS
YOU TOUCH MY FINGERS AND FONDLE MY RINGS
THEN TENDERLY WITHOUT VIOLENCE
WE MAKE LOVE IN PERFECT SILENCE

COME, COME INTO MY ROOM AGAIN
COME, COME AGAIN
OH COME, COME INTO MY GLOOM AGAIN
END THIS SOLITUDE AGAIN

I FINALLY TOOK THAT PICTURE DOWN
I'D BEEN STARING AT IT FOR HOURS AND HOURS
SLIPPING IN AND OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS
BUT WHAT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT
WHY DID YOU DO THAT?
DISAPPEAR ON ME LIKE THAT?
OH BABY PLEASE COME BACK WHERE I CAN TOUCH YOU
RIGHT HERE WHERE I CAN SEE YOU

COME, COME INTO MY ROOM AGAIN
COME, COME AGAIN
OH COME, COME INTO MY GLOOM AGAIN
BREAK, BREAK THIS SOLITUDE AGAIN

ALL OF MY DREAMS OF YOUR AFFECTION
NEVER HAVE I KNOWN
SUCH SWEET PERFECTION
NO DRUG-INDUCED BLISS
COULD EVER REACH THE HEIGHTS OF THIS
ETERNAL AND SO PURE
HELP ME TO ENDURE
ALL MY DREAMS

oh, why you look so sad?
the tears are in your eyes
come on and come to me now
But don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
Cause I've been in the dark side too

When the night falls on you
and you don't know what to do
Nothing you confess could make me love you less
I'll stand by you,I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you,I'll stand by you

So, if you're mad, get mad, don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide? Iget angry too
Well, I'm a lot like you, when youre standing

At the ctossroads,
but don't know, which path to choose
Let me come along 'Cause even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you,I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you,I'll stand by you

Take me in to, your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you, I'll stand by you

And when, when the night falls on you, baby
You're feeling all alone, you won't be on your own
I'll stand by you,I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you,I'll stand by you

Take me in to, your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you, I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you,I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you,I'll stand by you

I'll stand by you,I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you,I'll stand by you

I'm a mother
Treat me like a mother
You wanna suck on my breast
It's no surprise you do
I'm the source and the force
You owe your life to, brother

Oh
Oh
Oh

I'm a mother
And I take like a mother
I understand blood
And I understand pain
There can be no life without it
Never doubt it
I'm a mother

I gave you all my money
To help the family
But what you do to me
Don't humiliate me
Remember
I'm a life-long member

Oh
Oh
Oh

I'm a mother
Treat me like a mother
In the middle of the night
I be deep in a dream
You fancy little company
You only have to scream
Loud, brother

Oh
Oh
Oh

I'm a mother
And I fake like a mother
I understand time
And it isn't on my side
But to service mankind
I have to suffer his pride
Like a mother

Oh
Oh
Oh

You say your protection
Is proof of your affection
If I need security
I'll keep a gun on me
Oh
Don't barter with me
Don't barter with me

Little sacrifices
Go straight to heaven
But hunting season's over
This is the 20th century
Oh
Don't barter with me

Oh
Oh
Oh

I'm a mother
And I ache like a mother
If there's a terrible crash
And bodies thrown everywhere
I'll wrap 'em up and carry 'em
If someone has to bury them
Brother

Oh
Oh
Oh

Call upon mother

I'm the vessel of life
I got the trauma here to prove it
When it's time for me to labour for you
Everybody move it
Like a mother-ac

I drank tequila 'cause I can't have your lips tonight
I don't want to feel ya I don't want to feel sad tonight
You make me suffer and you just don't know
Estoy barrochos down in new mexico

I want to remember but I try to forget
That scene in the car park that I still regret
Just like before, times I've even lost track
I ran away crawling 'cause I fall everytime I look back

Miles, baby, hundreds of highways and truck stops I've used
Cars, baby, hundreds of cars have passed and refused
I stood on the shoulder with tears in my eyes

I drank tequila and watched the game in the bar
I don' t care who loses, I don't know who the teams are
We had our time, but the bell's finally tolled
My ohio winter was finally too cold

I was born with my hand in a fist
And my eyes shut tight
Any wonder that I cannot resist
Punchin' blindly in a fight
The first time I saw swans flyin' to the sun
I wanted to be one

Like every mother's son
When I saw my life had begun
I wanted to be someone
Like my brother and my one and only father
And like every mother's son

I was raised within a cause
With a purpose to fulfill
I was taught to defend what was mine
And instructed not to kill
My small mortal eyes can see eternity
In the clouds that dissolve and then regroup endlessly

Like every mother's son
When a man showed me how to use a gun
I wished I'd never need one
Like my brother and my one and only father
And like every mother's son

Everything in domesticity
Assumes it's role better than me
I'm a displaced person whose culture let me down
I raise my own daughters in a pornographic town

Like every mother's son
I've lost some and some I've won
Now I'm waiting for a new dawn
Like my brother and my one and only father
And like every mother's son

I'm as solid as a rock
Throw me at the powers that be
I'm as solid as a rock
Throw me at the powers that be
I'm as user friendly as a lead-filled glove
Rebel rock me

Hey!

I've got money in the bank
Come with me and you can have it for free
I've got money earning interest in the bank
Come with me and you can have it for free
I've got assets big as holes up in the sky
Rebel rock me

Hey!

I'm as heavy as a crowd in east l.a.
Fling me at the oppressor and flee

I'm as heavy as a crowd in east l.a.
Fling me at the oppressor and flee

I'm a seething burning moving mass of love
Rebel rock me

Hey!

The sun goes down
The sky turns black
I can hardly wait for you
I can't believe the madness
In everything you do
I used to dream in black and white
Now I see the world in a different light

Your love colours, colours everything
Your love colours, colours everything
Your love colours, colours everything
Your love colours, colours everything
Oh oh
Now come in to me
Fill me and fill me
Show me your colours baby
Your love colours

I slept in fear
And woke in pain
Till you came in close to me
I was cold
Like frozen rain
Your kiss melted me
You speak your mind just like a child
Won't be defined by when you smile

Your love colours, colours everything
Your love colours, colours everything
Your love colours, colours everything
Your love colours, colours everything
Oh oh
Now come in to me
Fill me and fill me
Show me your colours baby
Your love colours

Your love colours everything
Your love colours everything
Your love colours everything
Your love colours everything

May God bless you and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder
To the stars
And climb on every rung
And may you stay
Forever young

Forever young
Forever young
May you stay
Forever young

May you grow up
To be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand up right and be strong
And may you stay
Forever young

Forever young
Forever young
May you stay
Forever young

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
May you stay
Forever young

Forever young
Forever young
May you stay
Forever young

Kid what changed your mood
You've gone all sad so I feel sad too
I think I know some things we never outgrow
You think it's wrong
I can tell you do
How can I explain
When you don't want me to

Kid my only kid
You look so small you've gone so quiet
I know you know what I'm about
I won't deny it
But you forgive though you don't understand
You've turned your head
You've dropped by hand

All my sorrow, all my blues
All my sorrow

Shut the light, go away
Full of grace, you cover your face

Kid gracious kid
Your eyes are blue but you won't cry
I know angry tears are too dear
You won't let them go

I like the way you cross the street 'cause your precious
Moving through the cleveland heat how precious
Taking rides and all the kicks was so precious
But you know I was shittin' bricks 'cause I'm precious

Made me wanna, made me wanna, you made me make it
Oh, you're so mean

East 55th and euclid avenue was real precious
Hotel sterling coming into view how precious
It's a pity that you bruised my hip 'cause I'm precious
You shouldn't let your manners slip you're too precious

Made me wanna, made me wanna, you made me make it
Oh, you're so mean

We went around and round and round and round and round the
Shoreway
We was a duet duet duet duet do it on the pavement
Oh maybe maybe I'm gonna have a baby
We was a duet oh we do it all night

I was feeling kind of ethereal 'cause I'm precious
I had my eye on your imperial you're so precious
Now howard the duck and mr stress both stayed
Trapped in a world that they never made
But not me baby I'm too precious I had to fuck off

Made me wanna, made me wanna, you made me make it
Oh, you're so mean

This is a mercy mission
From a faceless messenger who don't wanna see you hit
Here's the word, listen to it
Somebody that you used to know is back in town
You better go

This is a mercy mission
A voice you'll never hear again from a southside call box
Winged demons are the hardest to outfox
The same one you lost on the run
Gonna show you that it ain't no fun

You better get out of town you're gonna get hit
I didn't mean to get you...

This is a mercy mission
You'll find your schedule underneath the door
All of the arrangements have been made
Major expenses have been paid as you know
Don't forget the last details
Accept no parcels in the mail

Anger and lust my senses running amok
Bewildered and deluded, have I been hit by a truck?
When my tongue lay inside his lip
Felt like the time in the womb
But I woke up with a headache that split my skull
Alone in the room

I got down on the floor with my head pressed between my knees
Under the bed with my teeth sunk into my own flesh
I said baby, oh sweetheart

Lust turns to anger, a kiss to a slug
Something was sticky on your shag rug, look at the tile
I remember the way he groaned and moved with an animal skill
I rubbed my face in the sweat that ran down his chest
It was all very run of the mill
But I noticed his scent started to change somehow
His face went berserk and the veins bulged on his brow
I said baby, oh sweetheart

Bondage to lust, abuse of facility
Blackmailed emotions confuse the demon and devotee
I was sure his intentions were sweet
And that mine was as well
But a wish is a shot in the dark
When your coin's down the well

I got out in the hall with my teeth in my head
Up to my neck and I said, said, said dead
I said baby, oh sweetheart

Such a drag to want something sometime
One thing leads to another I know
Was a time wanted you for mine
Nobody knew
You arrived like a day
And passed like a cloud
I made a wish, I said it out loud
Out loud in a crowd
Everybody heard
'twas the talk of the town

It's not my place to know what you feel
I'd like to know but why should i?
Who were you then, who are you now?
Common labourer by night, by day highbrow
Back in my room I wonder, then i
Sit on the bed, look at the sky
Up in the sky
Clouds rearrange
Like the talk of the town

Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday
Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday
You've changed your place in this world
You've changed your place in this world

Oh but it's hard to live by the rules
I never could and still never do
The rules and such never bothered you
You call the shots and they follow
I watch you still from a distance then go
Back to my room, you never know
I want you, I want you but now
Who's the talk of the town?

Kid what changed your mood
You've gone all sad so I feel sad too
I think I know some things we never outgrow
You think it's wrong
I can tell you do
How can I explain
When you don't want me to

Kid my only kid
You look so small you've gone so quiet
I know you know what I'm about
I won't deny it
But you forgive though you don't understand
You've turned your head
You've dropped by hand

All my sorrow, all my blues
All my sorrow

Shut the light, go away
Full of grace, you cover your face

Kid gracious kid
Your eyes are blue but you won't cry
I know angry tears are too dear
You won't let them go

Your private life drama baby leave me out [3x]

J'ai les glands with your theatrics
Your acting's a drag
It's ok on tv 'cause you can turn it off
But don't try me
Yes your marriage is a tragedy
But it's not my concern
I'm very superficial I hate anything official

[Chorus:]
Your private life drama baby leave me out [3x]
[Backup Chorus:]
You've been lying to someone and now me
Stop [3x]

Your sentimental gestures only bore me to death
You've made a desperate appeal now save your breath
Attachment to obligation through guilt and regret
Shit that's so wet
And your sex life complications are not my fascinations

[Chorus]

You asked me for advice I said use the door
But you're still clinging to somebody you deplore
And now you wanna use me for emotional blackmail
I just feel pity when you lie, contempt when you cry

[Chorus]

GOT BRASS IN POCKET
GOT BOTTLE I'M GONNA USE IT
INTENTION I FEEL INVENTIVE
GONNA MAKE YOU, MAKE YOU, MAKE YOU NOTICE

GOT MOTION RESTRAINED EMOTION
BEEN DRIVING DETROIT LEANING
NO REASON JUST SEEMS SO PLEASING
GONNA MAKE YOU, MAKE YOU, MAKE YOU NOTICE

(CHORUS)

GONNA USE MY ARMS
GONNA USE MY LEGS
GONNA USE MY STYLE
GONNA USE MY SIDESTEP
GONNA USE MY FINGERS
GONNA USE MY, MY, MY IMAGINATION

'CAUSE I GONNA MAKE YOU SEE
THERE'S NOBODY ELSE HERE
NO ONE LIKE ME
I'M SPECIAL SO SPECIAL
I GOTTA HAVE SOME OF YOUR ATTENTION GIVE IT TO ME

GOT RHYTHM I CAN'T MISS A BEAT
GOT NEW SKANK IT'S SO REET
GOT SOMETHING I'M WINKING AT YOU
GONNA MAKE YOU, MAKE YOU, MAKE YOU NOTICE

(CHORUS)

'CAUSE I GONNA MAKE YOU SEE
THERE'S NOBODY ELSE HERE
NO ONE LIKE ME
I'M SPECIAL, SO SPECIAL
I GOTTA HAVE SOME OF YOUR ATTENTION
GIVE IT TO ME
'CAUSE I GONNA MAKE YOU SEE
THERE'S NOBODY ELSE HERE
NO ONE LIKE ME
I'M SPECIAL, SO SPECIAL
I GOTTA HAVE SOME OF YOUR ATTENTION

GIVE IT TO ME

I tried to talk to my baby
I said no no no no baby
Please don't cry
No no no baby please
'cause all of the leaves come down
Every time babies cry
All of the leaves come down

I put my arms around my baby
I said hush hush hush hush
Baby sleep tight now
Hush hush hush baby sleep
'cause all of the birds start to sing
Every time babies dream
All of the birds start to sing

Nobody wants to see
Lovers of today happy
So assumed they're going to part
Nobody wants to be with someone
So afraid they'll be left with
A broken heart

I kissed the eyes of my baby
I said dream dream dream dream
Baby all night long
Dream dream dream all the night
'cause all of the stars in the skies
Twinkle on baby's eyes
All of the stars in the skies

I tried to talk to you baby
No no
No I'll never feel
Like a man in a man's world

This is a mercy mission
From a faceless messenger who don't wanna see you hit
Here's the word, listen to it
Somebody that you used to know is back in town
You better go

This is a mercy mission
A voice you'll never hear again from a southside call box
Winged demons are the hardest to outfox
The same one you lost on the run
Gonna show you that it ain't no fun

You better get out of town you're gonna get hit
I didn't mean to get you...

This is a mercy mission
You'll find your schedule underneath the door
All of the arrangements have been made
Major expenses have been paid as you know
Don't forget the last details
Accept no parcels in the mail

I drank tequila 'cause I can't have your lips tonight
I don't want to feel ya I don't want to feel sad tonight
You make me suffer and you just don't know
Estoy barrochos down in new mexico

I want to remember but I try to forget
That scene in the car park that I still regret
Just like before, times I've even lost track
I ran away crawling 'cause I fall everytime I look back

Miles, baby, hundreds of highways and truck stops I've used
Cars, baby, hundreds of cars have passed and refused
I stood on the shoulder with tears in my eyes

I drank tequila and watched the game in the bar
I don' t care who loses, I don't know who the teams are
We had our time, but the bell's finally tolled
My ohio winter was finally too cold

Such a drag to want something sometime
One thing leads to another I know
Was a time wanted you for mine
Nobody knew
You arrived like a day
And passed like a cloud
I made a wish, I said it out loud
Out loud in a crowd
Everybody heard
'twas the talk of the town

It's not my place to know what you feel
I'd like to know but why should i?
Who were you then, who are you now?
Common labourer by night, by day highbrow
Back in my room I wonder, then i
Sit on the bed, look at the sky
Up in the sky
Clouds rearrange
Like the talk of the town

Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday
Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday
You've changed your place in this world
You've changed your place in this world

Oh but it's hard to live by the rules
I never could and still never do
The rules and such never bothered you
You call the shots and they follow
I watch you still from a distance then go
Back to my room, you never know
I want you, I want you but now
Who's the talk of the town?

I'm the adultress
But i didn't want to be and i'm convenient
And i make good tea
I stand accused
Of the worst crime in history
That's my mystery
I'm the adultress

I go to the park
With a bag of crumbs for the birds
That's where we meet without words
He takes my hand
And stares into the wood
There's nothing to understand
It's understood
I'm the adultress

Look at the fool
Made up to go out
She's desperate and lonely
But she's puttin' it about
Look at the spinster
Comin' down off the shelf
She's in love and she hates herself

Don't try to stop me
Don't get in my way
It's too late
I've made my play
Does misery love company
I'll be in the bar
You'll find me

You're not supposed to do that
You know you're not allowed to
But you seem to get some kind of kick
Out of doing what you're not allowed to
You deliberately defy the rules
'cause the law's upheld by fools
Shit on that
Bad boys get spanked

You can look but don't touch
But no you can't resist
Don't you ever think about the consequence
Guys like you never do
That's the kind of stuff boys are made out of
That's the kind of stuff girls are made out of
Bad boys get spanked
Bad boys get spanked

You don't listen do you asshole
Don't be a punk all your life
Someone's gonna sort you out
They'll try to make a man out of you
Say yes sir, say no sir
Say yes ma'am, say no m'am
Shit on that
Bad boys get spanked
Bad boys get spanked

Get spanked, get spanked
Come here, get spanked
Bad boys get spanked
Come here, get spanked

Now the reason we're here
As man and woman
Is to love each other
Take care of each other
When love walks in the room
Everybody stand up
Oh it's good, good, good
Like brigitte bardot

Now look at the people
In the streets, in the bars
We are all of us in the gutter
But some of us are looking at the stars
Look round the room
Life is unkind
We fall but we keep gettin' up
Over and over and over and over and over and over

Me and you, every night, every day
We'll be together always this way
Your eyes are blue like the heavens above
Talk to me darlin' with a message of love

Now the reason we're here
Every man, every woman
Is to help each other
Stand by each other
When love walks in the room
Everybody stand up
Oh it's good, good good
Say I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

Talk to me darlin'

When I look up from my pillow
I dream you are there with me
Though you are far away
I know you'll always be near to me

I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me

I look around me
And feel you are ever so close to me
Each tear that flows from my eye
Brings back memories of you to me

I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me

I was wrong, I will cry
I will love you till the day I die
You were all, you alone and no one else
You were meant for me

When morning comes again
I have the loneliness you left me
Each day drags by
Until finally my time descends on me

I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me

I wrote a letter to you my friend
So many letters that I never send
I think about you at the day's end
The time that we had
I laughed in my bed
The stupid things you said
We were two birds of paradise

When I was a little girl
With clay horses and lambs on the shelf
I caught frogs in ditches, listened for elves
My friends and I had a world unto ourselves
No grownups could find us when we
Made our plans so secretly
To run away and fly to be
With the two birds of paradise

Now once upon a time my mind still there wanders
Back in the room the things I remember
One time when we took off our clothes
But you were cryin', cryin'
You said nothing lasts forever
We were happy together
I thought about you in stockholm and rome
Me in my hotel room
You in your home
This is the life they say that
Dreams are made of
Don't forget
Please do forgive me
I still have something you did give me
Come into my dream with me and dream

Please don't forget
Do forgive me
I still have something you did give me
Come into my dream with me and dream
Oh dream of paradise
